Use the toolkit to deploy to the IBM® z/OS® platform.
Before you begin
Deploying to the
IBM z/OS platform is similar to deploying to other platforms. Create an application, components,
environments, and resources. Import versions of artifacts to the components, and then create
an application process that deploys the components to a target environment. When you create a
component for
z/OS artifacts, select
z/OS as the component type.
Versions can be imported to a z/OS component by
using the zOS File source configuration plug-in or by using the buztool
command line from an z/OS agent.
Procedure
- Install the z/OS agent.
- Create a ship list file. See Ship list files.
- Create a deployable component version. See Creating z/OS component versions.
- Create component processes and application processes as
you would for any other deployment, by using the z/OS Utility
plug-in for process steps that retrieve and deploy z/OS artifacts. For example, use the Copy Artifacts or FTP
Artifacts process steps to retrieve z/OS artifacts
instead of the Download Artifacts step that you
use for other types of artifacts. Use the Deploy Data Set process
step to deploy z/OS artifacts. The z/OS Utility
plug-in also includes process steps for rolling back data sets, for
running commands from the time sharing option (TSO) command line,
and for running ISPF commands. To learn more about the z/OS Utility
plug-in, see the IBM UrbanCode™ Deploy plug-in site.
